Weekend weekend yes yes

My whole week I have been looking forward to the weekend and now it's finally Friday. Saturday is my favourite day and I hope it's going to be sunny! fingers crossed. I'm listening to some songs I used to listen a few years ago. Songs always mark moments of my life. They bring back good memories..from dancing on a wooden floor to driving by the beach coast. Does that happen to you? what songs reminds you of good or sad moments of your life and what moments? x

Flashback Friday: Toddler Piggies & Curls

I've decided that I'm going to try something fun for some of my Friday posts and do a "Flashback Friday".  Many of you have younger girls with not so much hair so I'm going to share some of the ideas we've used for my princess throughout the years.  (Keep in mind that the pictures may not be fantastic but hopefully they will at least give you some ideas!) 

This is my princess in April of 2007 when she was 3 1/2 years old.  She had some bangs that we always curled under.  Her hair is sectioned on top from ear to ear and then divided in half for two top-piggies. 

We flipped the bottoms of her hair up and out and added some ribbon clips to her piggies. 

I miss doing fun little toddler do's!

5-Strand With Flair

So a couple days ago our blog was featured over at "Every Day Mom Ideas" and we did a new hairstyle called "4-Strand With Flair".  I was playing around with it a little bit and decided it would look really cool with a 5-Strand as well so here it is:

Separate the hair you want to braid into 5 equal strands.  Take the strand farthest to your left and go over the adjacent strand, under the very next strand and over the very next strand.  (That left strand should now be one strand in from the far right side.)  Now take the strand farthest to your right and go over the adjacent strand, under the very next strand and over the very next strand.  (That right strand should now be one strand in from the far left side.)  Begin the pattern again with the strand farthest to the left, going over, then under and then over,  and continue until you get to the bottom of the hair, leaving about 1.5 inches unplated. 

Now, starting at the bottom of the braid, gently pull at the far right and left plates of the braid to loosen them up a bit and make them flair out more than the inside plates.  Continue doing this up to the top of the braid, gently playing with those outside plates to loosen them up.  When you've done that, go ahead and secure the bottom of the braid with an elastic.

 Easy as that!

Pull-Throughs to Parallel Braids

Begin by separating 3 sections at the top of the head and tie each section back with an elastic.

 

 Grab your Topsy Tail and create Pull-Throughs out of the 3 sections. 

Now take the remaining hair, between your last section and the ear, and create a braid out of it. 

Do the same on the opposite side of the head as well. 

 Bring the two braids to the back of the head and combine them with an elastic.  (You can cover that elastic using a small claw clip or a ribbon.) 

Now grab another small section of hair, below the first, for a second braid on each side.  Have your princess hold the two braids while you pull the rest of the hair into a low ponytail. 

 Bring the two braids around the back of the head and wrap them around the elastic holding your ponytail.  Pull the ends of the braids through the elastic using your Topsy Tail to secure the braids.  

This hairstyle held really tightly all day long so it's a great one for those play days!

I'm knackered and not feeling really good. I am going to rest and try to go bed early today. I've been shopping at charity shops and I think I will continue doing so. Simply because it is way cheaper than high street stores and less crowded.
